Not a surprise, but we are talking about NK give them the benefit of a doubt, but If they want to see a restart in the war games, easily done, then they'll get hit with ice cold water of reality. If they think sanctions will be lifted, they are delusional and they might get hit with even more sanctions.

It doesn't matter that Dump lied and made the situation worse because Russia and China will keep NK propped up. NK is their geopolitical buffer from Western democracy. It is like having a chained vicious dog in your yard, so no one can reach the house, or no one would dare try to reach the house.

It doesn't matter that Dump lied and made the situation worse because Russia and China will keep NK propped up.

And the US, Japan and SK will be on their toes and confiscated and block them wherever they are over the land and sea. Are their goods that the NK get through? Some, but not even close to the majority and not enough to keep that already fragile country stable.

Not a surprise

Not to those who acknowledge that in the latest agreement, North Korea promised nothing it hadn't promised before.

To those who said it was a breakthrough that no other president could have achieved, and that it would earn Trump a Nobel Peace Prize, it ought to be a surprise. It was only 3 weeks before large cracks started to show, and in the history of international agreements, even failed ones, that isn't much.

No, they did promise to denuclearize, but if they don’t, that’s OK because they are the ones that need money to feed their hungry regime and collapse economy not us.

To those who said it was a breakthrough that no other president could have achieved, and that it would earn Trump a Nobel Peace Prize, it ought to be a surprise.

Not really, the only people to keep talking about a Nobel peace prize are liberals and as In true fashion that is the only thing that they care about, so not surprised on that.

It was only 3 weeks before large cracks started to show, and in the history of international agreements, even failed ones, that isn't much.

Again, they will have to suffer the consequences not us, they need something from us and that is to have access to their money and relief from the sanctions and neither of those will happen until they denuclearize.

No, they did promise to denuclearize

As they had promised before. In other words, 1) the agreement said nothing that hadn't been said before, and therefore it didn't contain anything that could be called "new ground" or "unprecedented" and 2) we have the experience of previous broken promises to tell us that North Korea can sign agreements on "denuclearization of the Korean peninsula" without intending to unilaterally abandon its nuclear programme.

This is why the vaguely worded agreement that Trump "secured" was treated with widespread skepticism. Probably the only thing that surprised the skeptics was the dizzying speed with which it began to fall apart. The first signs were just 2 weeks after the summit, it became even more apparent 3 weeks after the summit, and within a month, the two countries were back to trading recriminations.

It's not at all how Trump's devoted admirers, the slaves to a personality cult, presented it.

Except adding more sanctions to the crippling sanctions that are already hard hitting.

and 2) we have the experience of previous broken promises to tell us that North Korea can sign agreements on "denuclearization of the Korean peninsula" without intending to unilaterally abandon its nuclear programme.

Yes, this is true and we can do the very thing they so deeply despise and that’s resuming the war games, too bad for them then.

This is why the vaguely worded agreement that Trump "secured" was treated with widespread skepticism.

Ok or the other alternative was to go to war, but the left vehemently opposed that, so the other option was to talk, either that or drop bombs. No one said the talks would be perfect, but at least he tired and at least he was able to bring the remains of a lot of our fallen men and women.

Probably the only thing that surprised the skeptics was the dizzying speed with which it began to fall apart.

Of course the liberal media can focus on that, they don’t have anything better to do than to oppose this President, so if he had decided to go to war, the left would have criticized him, if not, they still would have criticized him, so it doesn’t matter, either way, he can’t win with the left. So it doesn’t matter at all what they say or think.

The first signs were just 2 weeks after the summit, it became even more apparent 3 weeks after the summit, and within a month, the two countries were back to trading recriminations.

Well, the ball is in Kim’s court, he needs to decide what he wants, feed his people, his military, stay in power or lose it all.

It's not at all how Trump's devoted admirers, the slaves to a personality cult, presented it.

No one is a slave unlike liberals that act like lemmings that are ready to jump off the socialist cliff.

So you haven't read the agreement then.

Of course the liberal media can focus on that, they don’t have anything better to do than to oppose this President

The usual paranoid rambling.

When two countries return to publicly criticizing each other after signing a supposedly historic agreement to denuclearize, it's newsworthy, not some liberal cause. It's a sign that the agreement has fallen apart. It would be an abdication of responsibility by the media not to consider whether this agreement contained any substance, and whether it seems to be holding. And it doesn't.
